Proof of Reading
Proof of Reading is an innovative blockchain-based system designed to verify and track a reader’s engagement with literary texts. The platform securely records reading progress, ensuring accountability and encouraging deeper interaction with literature—especially in educational or literacy development contexts.
Key Features
Page-by-Page Tracking: Reading progress is recorded incrementally, with each page forming a segment of a blockchain.
Facial Recognition / Activity Verification: Optional features confirm the user is actively reading.
Summary Verification: After completing a book, the reader submits a short summary. Peer reviewers or trusted validators assess it to close and verify the block.
Immutable Records: Completed readings are permanently stored as verifiable entries in a decentralized system.
Gamification & Motivation: Readers can earn badges, certificates, or credentials for verified reading milestones.
Use Cases
Education: Schools can use it to track students’ reading without requiring paper logs or manual check-ins.
Literacy Programs: Offers a way to measure progress in adult or ESL literacy initiatives.
Self-Directed Learning: Individuals can build a certified reading record for personal, academic, or career development.
